Insect apocalypse: The declines are so severe we stand on the brink of total ecosystem collapse. Solutions are obvious. Ban the worst insect poisons and limit others. Unfortunately, their makers—a few giant companies—have the ear of politicians & lawmakers press.princeton.edu/ideas/in…

Insect apocalypse

Insects underpin almost all terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. But in the last few decades, populations all over the world have collapsed with terrifying speed.

Researchers exposed the bumblebee diet to #glyphosate and a glyphosate-based herbicide and monitored the changes in bacterial communities. They found 36% of the bacterial strains detected in the bee gut microbiota were glyphosate-sensitive.
